    I never heard of Grapenut custard - what's in it?

    When I was doing chemo, I needed DiFlucan for the yeast infection and I used Biotene mouthwash and a toothpaste for sensitive teeth.  It might help her to gargle with salt water, too.  I also read on another thread to eat with plastic utensils to get rid of the metal taste in the mouth.  I don't know if it worked or not, but I did use them when I could.

    WhaSux??????

    Hey Lisa & SHERLOC!!!  Great to see you here! I hope you make it a habit! HUGS

    A big THAT SUX for KAK, Jane, Pinky & Diane! Pinky---magic mouthwash--her onc should know about the Rx.......

    My dd is away on a band trip & my men have headed out to the city for a concert--I am having a decadent day: I am in bed in my PJ's with the cat, one of the dogs, FoodTV on in the background, my lap top & eating the most luscious chocolates a friend sent me. Funny---she lives in Canada & sent them from achocolate shop that is only an hour from here & I have never heard of them! If you don't hear from me it was a delightful death-by-chocolate!!! LOL (if I survive the afternoon I may have to get dressed just to go our later for some really naughty take out & ICE CREAM!!!!  too bad no delivery places includes ice cream....)

    Hope the weekend suckage is at a minimum--be well & stay strong!

    Saint, except for the chocolate, you've just described about every day of my life for the past month or so! LOL 

    I'm having to deal with the return of an IOS I thought was taken care of months ago. It would seem that dh's "stalker nurse" is at it again. We returned late last night from ds #2's band trip. After we were in bed, ds #3 knocked and came in; he had his dad's phone with him and told me that a message just came through. Dh was asleep already, so I checked it. It was a text/cartoon message. I didn't recognize the number and didn't think much of it--had him put the phone back. No sooner had he left the room when another message came through.  It wasn't until this morning that dh told me it was nursey and that she NEVER stopped calling/texting. He hadn't told me about the continued calls/texts (even though he PROMISED to so I would not "embarrass" him by going up to nursey's work and getting her fired) and tried to say he "didn't want to upset" me. OMG..........HOLY CRAP....we had to cut off our land line and are operating on extremely limited cell phone minutes because we can't frickin' afford to pay any more (he's still laid off). I haven't been able to talk to my family and friends because of the lack of minutes and this bitch is using up my f#$*#%^ minutes?!?!?!?!  I have confiscated his phone (he can carry mine if he needs a phone) and am trying to decide what to do.  I can't even frickin' drive myself up to the doctor's office to rip her a new one because I still can't feel my frickin' feet! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR   At this point, it's not even a question of whether or not there is any hanky panky. I'm pissed about being lied to and I'm pissed about this f)#$^$# wingnut bitch using up my #*$$^ cell phone minutes so I can't even talk to my MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

    I believe I may be stitching up a little nursey voodoo doll today.  Anybody got any really BIG pins?  <insert furious scream here>

    THAT SUCKS, Y'all to all who need it. Man..........I was in a good mood for about 15 seconds this morning...

    It sux that you feel lousy & this b*tch is still trolling! I thought he changed his #!!I I would call her boss & inform him of her unprofessional antics, then start the Dice-O-Rama & aim it at his privates!!!  Ultimately HE is the one who owes you fidelity!

    IT SUX!!!! Shall we call out the bitch-squad on your "roamer" & equip everyone with a Dice-O-Rama????? I'll take lead-position! Ba da BING!

    There are some nasty pockets of suckiness out there today!

    My IOS has for the most part resolved itself into an SOI. 

    My college freshman DD broke her wrist at the beginning of Feb.  It has been healing, and on Wednesday the doctor's assistant read the CT scan report and told her that since it was healed, they would cut the cast off and send her home in a brace.  Then the doctor came into the room, and said that because of the way the bone had healed, she needed surgery to correct the positioning or she could lose use of the hand down the road.  We spent 10 hours at the hospital in the city yesterday so she could have the "quick" outpatient surgery in which he basically re-broke the bone and then put in a plate to hold it in place.  The doctor got backed up, but no one told us any of what was going on because she is an adult.  We finally got home after bedtime, so we had bowls of chocolate ice cream instead of dinner, and everyone fell into bed.  DD is home for the weekend, and seems to be on the road to healing again. 

    Diane, it might help you to organize your thoughts about the subject if you write a letter to the doctor detailing all the things that you want him to know about nursy.  You can decide after you've gotten it all down whether or not to deliver it either by hand or by mail or if burning it will best give you the release you deserve.  Diaper pins are nice and fat and long, and raiding some finishing nails from DH's supply would be appropriate

    That sucks!!!!

    Diane,

    May I suggest knitting needles for length and a crochet needle for the hook on the end of it.  You get the picture.  We need to get the bitch squad organized and a - text her, b - call her,and  c - send her the said voodoo dolls (burnt to a crisp of course).  WTF is her problem????  Sending chocolate and hugs to you.  Sorry for everyone else's suckage.

    HUGS Diane!

    Our dh's mistakes becomes ours, since as married ppl even mild infidelities directly affect us! It was up to him to FIX IT---- Since he did NOT take care of it B4, I have changed the advice I offered then to suggest you call her boss. It will not keep a roamer from finding another slut if he is so inclined (God knows there is always another to take her place if he so desires,) but giving him the benefit of the doubt (as a weak man who is easily flattered & not taking control) you can snuff out THIS particular dalliance & if nothing else get the satisfaction of thwarting BOTH of them! 

    THIS SUX so bad! wish I could actually help---I'm here for ya even if my opinion is not yours...I empathize. We should never have to face this--but especially with everything else we have to deal with everyday. It makes me so angry......SORRY!

    Hey badboob67, that really does stink!  Just a thought, our cell service allows us to block certain numbers from calling or texting, it might be something to look into.  With ours we can block up to something like 6 numbers free of charge, so if you can, I'd block all of the numbers she might call from.  (((hugs)))

    Diane, I am furious that your dh has not ended this crap with the nurse. Grrrrrrrrr! I have all sorts of thoughts, but there is no reason to state the obvious. He needs a good butt whipping.

    Lisa, it was wonderful to hear from you, as always. Thanks for the sweet compliment. I'm doing pretty well presently. :-)

    Saint, hope you get out for a ride this evening.

    Patmom, sorry about your daughter. Hopefully, she is not suffering too much today.

    Love to all,

    Diaper pins, rusty fish hooks......remind me not to piss any of you off! LOLOLOL!  I've cooled off a little, but Lord help her if I run into her anytime soon! Our cell phone co. charges to block numbers and we really haven't a single penny to spare lately, so that's probably off the list. Seriously, if this broad is as nutty as dh would like me to believe she is, she has no business being around patients.........or even on the loose in public at all!

    I'll probably "Scarlett O'Hara" the whole thing (I'll worry about that tomorrow) until I get through tx this week......unless the dear sweety calls or texts while I have dh's phone and he's carrying mine.  Then, well..............who can I count on for bail money?  LOLOLOLOL

    Wait...somebody mentioned nails. We DO have a power nailer somewhere...(she says, cackling and wringing her hands)

    Im sorry but your husband does owe you fidelity.  I would calmly take that phone into your lawyer's office and have them issue a legal threat that if she continues, you will prosecute for violation of whatever he can come up with.  CC the infidel.... with promise that legal recourse for him will be a divorce.... a big messy expensive public divorce.  And she can help subsidize your income since your husband is too busy with her to find a job.

    How much does the cell phone company charge to block the number versus the amount you pay in text charges?   Just asking - might be cheaper in the long run to block the number.  Unless she calls from different numbers.  Can you change the number and get it unlisted? Would that charge be better in the long run?  Just throwing out ideas here.  Surprised

    Badboob - I'll come up there (or down there, or over there, depending on where you live) and DRIVE you to the Dr's office.  Then we can BOTH confront miss nursy-pants (I've got your back). 

    I also agree with the passive suggestions, too.  A well-worded letter, addressed to the Dr or Practice Manager, clearly marked "Confidential and Personal" on the envelope so nursy doesn't open it first, possibly with a fake return address (you can use mine), so no one other than the person reading the letter knows who it's from.  

    You don't happen to know her personal postal address do you?  If you do, I have an evil pay-back.  I'll share it with you all, but if any of you use it, I'll deny all knowledge of the plot...what you do is scour through all of your magazines, magazines in Drs. waiting rooms...anywhere.  Pull out every "free" subscription or offer postcard in the magazine.  Then order subscriptions in her name.  You can order magazines, join book clubs, order those expensive Danbury Mint things, and they all come with the "pay later" option, so the person gets all these magazines, books, etc. AND the bill!  There is no way this can be traced to anyone because they are all postage paid cards and don't require a signature or SS# or anything.

    I still wonder HOW she got his # if he changed it.......won't it be interesting if she starts calling YOUR # after he has had your phone?????? Blocking texts on our phones was free.....

    Otter--loved the pic--- LOL

    For any metsters who would be interested: dream has started a new thread in the Paliative forum where we can really address issues that might be too upsetting for some ppl......I thank her!

    Hey, all

    Kathi - I hope the Effexor XR works. When I got my scrip, we went through the possibilities of ADs and started with the cheapest (Effexor generic), if that didn't work, we'd go to the next cheapest and so on. My mom is on the XR and was saying today that it doesn't make her ill & she's got a "sensitive" tummy. I'm thinking of bumping my reg dose up from 75mg, hoping no nausea results.

    Jane - I was on Pamelor years ago. I ended up back on it after my post-partum depression got incredibly bad...they gave me the generic (uh oh) (damn insurance). I started hallucinating. Didn't realize it, I could see rats running across the floor at work and all kinds of other niceties. The depression got worse and TG, the husband dragged me into the doc. It was years before I would trust a generic.

    I can pass by ice cream, but RICE PUDDING...yum, yum, yum. The ultimate comfort food.

    Diane - I'd be reporting nursey to the state professional board. After I got her fired. I have a bunch of really long & sharp embroidery needles that I'm willing to donate to the cause.

    My baby turns 16 tomorrow. That means that I have aged 16 years...doesn't seem possible.

    take care, all.

    Diane:  This whole situation with that nurse and your DH sucks!  I do believe you could file an official complaint of emotional abuse and harrassment.  It is a big no no for nurses and she could get into alot of trouble.  I also have a rusty shovel ready and waiting for your husband.  Will and ready whenever you need it.

    This rice pudding this is blowing me away. After my surgery I wasn't hungry for days!!! Surprise diet! The only thing I would finally eat after my dh begged me to pick something, was rice pudding! We had no idea where that one came out of but it worked.

    Then with my recent cold, I did the same thing. Actually took the can-opener from home and some cans of rice pudding to work. Ummmmmmmmmm. Then I phoned my dh at home to see what he had for dinner as it was a late night for me to work. He said he was going to have weiners and beans but he couldn't find the darn can-opener! Heheheheehhe

    Cute barb.   You do not have an electric can opener???   Put on Christmas List ??

    Rice pudding comes in individual serving cups.  4 in a pack: Kraft Handi Snacks.  Usually in the same place where pudding and jello mixes are.    Even if not refrigerated, they are tasty.   Tapioca pudding has always been a fav of mine, but I cannot make it to save my life.  It also comes in individual cups.   When I was on chemo, it became a comfort food because I am allergic to chocolate -  pudding and lime sherbet, what kind of diet is that?   fruit and dairy???   Lol    I also put a T or R in magic marker on the individual cups to keep them separate.   

    If you do not really need text, you could discontinue it and avoid nebs**it nurse from doing it to husband.   OR have it temporarily blocked for a week or so and see what happens.   I would report her to whomever and whatever it takes to get her butt kicked high and far.

    Can't you report it to your phone provider as abuse? In Canada we have the CRTC which we can report to.

    Maybe if you use the word abuse or harrassment, your provider will block it for free.

    When I was having chemo, esp. the A/C, I craved butterscotch pudding.  My daughter and I both work for the same man who owns a chain of Greek Restaurants and a Bistro.  My daughter works at the pizza place and I do the books for the Bistro.  When I was diagnosed, he told the manager at the pizza place that I could order anything I wanted for free.  I love their rice pudding.  My daughter told the chef that I wanted rice pudding and he made me a whole lasagna pan full of rice pudding.  I had to share - there was no way I could eat that whole pan by myself!

    Not sure whats going on with the hubby and ms nursy, but sounds like hubby needs his A$$ kicked. Making mental note never to make you all angry. Rusty fishing hooks, nails, and knitting needles....O MY!

    Rice Pudding with raisins and warm caramel sauce.....OMG I think I eat so much I would explode.

    Tapioca....hmmmmm not so much

    When I was getting chemo I craved rice pudding too?  Whats up with that.  And I totally lost my taste for all poultry.  Couldn't stand the aroma of it cooking in the house.  I too am one of those who needs to put an electric can opener on some kind of gift list.  Christmas is too far away.
